One More Chord
In the previous two lessons we established six chords in
the key structure of C Major.
This chord, B Minor flat 5 , completes the set.
In a pop/rock context this chord is hardly ever used.
The only example I can think of is the Gary Moore/Thin Lizzy tune 'Parisian
Walkways'.
It is used in jazz , latin , classical and old style songwriting ( showtunes
etc. ).
In a pop/rock context the chords commonly used on a B bass note in the Key of
C Major would be G with a B note at the bottom ( G/B ) or C Major seventh with
B at the bottom ( Cmaj7/B )
